Are you faced with a litigation case that involves multiple parties, numerous documents and vast amounts of data? With on-demand solutions from LexisNexis® Hosted Litigation, small and midsize law firms now have the option to perform document review without a costly investment in IT infrastructure, software, training and staff.

For reviewers Document-to-document browsing: Browse to the next document within 1 – 2 seconds Tagging: Tag 50 documents in 2 seconds Searching: Return results on complex searches within 4 seconds Exceptional capacity Concordance Evolution allows you to manage smaller cases as well as large, complex litigation without sacrificing efficiency. Be confident in your database: A scalable Microsoft® SQL back end keeps data in one place, improves data integrity and supports large-scale, multi-party document review. Do more at once: Run multiple imports and production actions at once; automate and schedule jobs; and distribute processing across multiple servers. Batch a group of documents: Perform batching from within the whole database, and then assign that batch to specific reviewers. Reduce steps to simplify workflow: Import data from LAW PreDiscovery software to Concordance Evolution without performing an export first.

Ease of use Your case may have mysteries and complications. Your software shouldn’t. With Concordance Evolution, you can easily conduct queries, browse and tag documents, view production sets, conduct bulk reviews and more.

With Concordance Evolution, near-duplicate analysis is built in. This helps you speed e-discovery, organize the distribution of documents for review, ensure consistency during production, and reduce costs related to hosting, review and more.

And thanks to earlier enhancements, you also have the benefit of importing data directly from LAW PreDiscovery software—including fields and tags—and pointing to the native files in LAW PreDiscovery … no need to create separate copies of files, set up fields from scratch or recreate tags in Concordance Evolution.

Full-loop synchronization of images,fields and tags You no longer need to export when you update and sync your LAW PreDiscovery database.

Improved exporting Export a subset of native documents based on a tag (hybrid production); name single-page image files after document-level field, and increment the name; name images, text and native files by different fields to meet production requirements; and recreate family groups based on production number in any scenario.

Better importing Using the text import tool for load files, you can now point to a folder location and import the text. Plus, new _EVPagesNative and _EVPageImages fields enable you to populate the number of pages from converted near-native files and images after import.

Near-duplicate analysis is built into Concordance Evolution: With LexisNexis® Near Dupe built in, you can filter out irrelevant documents and emails, speed review and then ensure consistency during the production process.

Near-duplicate analysis flags documents and emails as nearly identical—for example, versions of a Microsoft® Word document edited over a period of time or a chain of email messages that are almost entirely redundant. Documents and emails are grouped based on the similarity percentage you specify. You can tag similar documents and emails and then compare the textual differences.
